Among many facts borrowed from the Cthulhu Mythos and adopted for the Simon Necronomicon, the idea that it originated from the pen of a “Mad Arab” named Abdul Alhazred is entirely Lovecraftian, indicated nowhere within the text of the Necronomicon aside from the editor’s commentary and again in regards to the work of H.P. Lovecraft.

This kind of logic is attacked by critics and used to undermine the true ‘between-the-lines’ message the Simon Necronomicon carries in reviving interest in the post-Sumerian “Mardukite” or Babylonian archetypal methodology (or systemology).

The problem arises with identifying the author or even dating manuscripts or versions of the ancient tablets being laid down from presumably the original author’s memory. The bait-and-switch occurs when we again apply the Lovecraftian basis and the logic is mutated to occur as follows:

a) the work of Lovecraft defines the Necronomcon
b) according to Lovecraft the book is written by Abdul Alhazred in the 8th century
c) the Simon work is called the Necronomicon
d) — therefore: the Simon Necronomicon is written by the “Mad Arab” Abdul Alhazred in 8th century Damascus. QED.

…such thinking is obviously flawed.

The main text of the Simon Necronomicon begins with the ‘first part’ of what has been sectioned off as the Testimony of the Mad Arab. The ‘second part’ composes the book’s epilogue. Although ancient Mesopotamia served as the origins
of language, civilization and ultimately ‘religion,’ it had grown or evolved, fragmented with time into something very different by the time of the Necronomicon’s alleged beginnings in 8th century Babylonia. We are meaning 800 years after the birth of Jesus Christ, long after the decline of true ‘paganism’ in the name of some new ideal or another (not always ‘Christian’).

‘Paganism’ as a rural folk tradition is not really even what the original archetypal Anunnaki system is about – being a national religion – but it is certainly a starting place for later ‘country’ beliefs and surviving remnants of ancient wisdom in the wake of later urban Christianization. But, the beautiful harmony of the ‘complete system’ was ever lost to the public for thousands of years until relatively recently in light of the intensive and rigorous work being (and having been) conducted by the Mardukite Chamberlains in their post-modern next generational relay of the Anunnaki legacy in total.

By the time of the 8th century, paganism, witchcraft and the contemporary idea of magick and occultism was not looked ‘highly’ upon by global society, not only as a result of rising Christianity but also in accord with the growth of the new Arabic and Middle Eastern religions that had formed thousands of years after the inception of the Babylonian tradition. The “Old Ways” were shunned regardless of their increased clarity and advanced nature.

As explained in the preface to the second edition of our own Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible, the Schlangekraft Recension was “alluding to a tradition that significantly predated itself. The work was not ‘ahead of its time’, but was instead lagging
‘behind its time’, seeking to preserve, perhaps from the memory of its allegedly Arabic author, the lore and traditions of a dying or dead Mardukite priesthood.”

“The book is not at all like what we would expect to find from a living tradition being operated in Babylon such as theoretically could have been carried by priest-magicians of Marduk and Enki – though they relied solely on catalogues (collections) of hardened clay tablets versus the papyrus and paper (scrolls) more easily conjured to mind concerning magical and religious documents. Instead of this, the Simon Necronomicon are more in line with an antiquated reconstructionist (or revivalist) effort, such as we might find throughout other examples existent in the ‘New Age’ today.” ~ Liber-R, Necronomicon Revelations

According to its author, the Necronomicon is the “Book of the Dead” and also the “Book of Black Earth,” which is a reference to the “Magan” lands (or Arabian Desert) that separates Mesopotamia from Egypt. Further, it is suggested that the knowledge therein is comprised of what was learned while ‘traveling’ on the ‘spheres’ of the Igigi – meaning “Watchers” or “Guardians” (sometimes referred to as “overseers”) that were a subservient class of Anunnaki being. The Igigi were akin to ‘angels’ or ‘messengers’ whereas the Anunnaki proper composed the actual ‘pantheon’ of the ‘gods’.

“. . .sealed seven representative stations in Babylon. The Seven are each embodiments of the seven gates forged in Babylon.”

The seven tablets of creation are the basis for material reality as programmed for receipt by the most antiquated human “societal” civilization on the planet: in Mesopotamia. Surpassing even this, the seven-fold structure observed in ancient Babylon went on to serve as the archetypal basis for correspondences relevant to cultural-systems emerging since!

The lore that gave Babylon its name – the Gates – went on to form a systematic understanding of the world that both commoner and esoteric practitioner still operate under the spell of in present day.

The division of the ‘visual spectrum’ of color, the ‘audible’ range of ‘notes of music’, the methodology of the seven original ‘sacred cities’ in Mesopotamia (thought to be space-ports by some scholars), the ordering of the ‘rays’, ‘levels’ or ‘days’ of creation/manifestation and above all the ‘ritual’ or ‘ceremonial’ observation of some representative of the whole thing; later seen in the ‘seven-stepped’ ziggurats of Babylon, the religious observation of a ‘seven-stepped’ ladder of lights or stairway to heaven… the list of corresponding ‘sevens’ is seemingly endless.

Examining the Enuma Elis closely, it is clear that the ‘spirito-political’ purpose behind its account for these things entirely concern the ‘usurpation’ of these powers under Marduk, allowing the young ‘King of the Gods’ to be responsible for the ‘ordering’ of the physical universe as it came to be perceived by the evolving race; a race first bred as a superior work animal then upgraded yet again by Enki for the modern design existing today.

In addition to the seven divine decrees used by the priest-magicians in the tradition, another ‘element’ comes into play, alluded to in the Enuma Elis and throughout Anunnaki lore: the Tablets of Destiny.

Significant ‘debate’ exists among scholars and academicians about the ‘historical’ and ‘literary’ validity of these “tablets”. It is hard to determine from most ‘records’ if they are indeed literary tablets themselves or something else altogether with a more ‘functional’ (technological) purpose.

The control of the ‘gate-system’ among various members of the Anunnaki pantheon appears to have been connected to the control of these ‘tablets’ – a key to activating the ‘reality-system’ of the material world, perhaps.

As a literal work, the Tablets of Destiny are synonymous with the ‘secret of the gods’ by their own tongue or else, by Judeo-Christian standards, the Book of Life. Although the Sumerians and later Babylo-Akkadians had a clear distinction between the two, those such as Budge translated the term originally to mean Tablets of Fate – though we now ‘fate’ and ‘destiny’ are in essence two different things.

Fate is actually what gives humans, or any sentient life-form, the ‘illusion’ of freewill in this existence. It is a part of the ‘problem-solving’ and ‘experiential’ aspect of the psyche; in essence, how one learns. But, what is not so clearly understood is that the ‘scenery’ in which one is made to ‘decide fate’ is not so self-determined, nor the personality program in operation at that time which will inevitably make the ‘destined’ choice.

The Tablets of Destiny dictate that all material existence is actually ‘predestined’ following a ‘program’ that has been ‘encoded’ into not only the background of reality, but every ‘observed perspective’ maintained within that reality.

Conclusively, the Tablets of Destiny include the information by which ‘reality’ was programmed by the Anunnaki and the means by which they were able to ‘manifest’ a material world for their own existence (experience). The ‘program’ of all life is said to be recorded thereupon in one version. In another, the tablets are almost synchronous with the Akashic Records, containing a ‘quantum’ or ‘light’ record of all existences in unified wholeness – All-as-One!

A new economical edition of the Mardukite Year-3 Anthology — A Workbook in Modern Magick Using the Sumerian Anunnaki of Mesopotamian Religion and Babylonian Magical Tradition — previously available as “Necronomicon Workbook” and “Mesopotamian Magic” in honor of the Mardukite 6th Anniversary!

NECRONOMICON GRIMOIRE — A master compilation of mystical exploration into the heart of the ancient Mesopotamian Mysteries, this complete practical occult workbook based on the Mardukite “Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible“ illuminates the revolutionary teachings and source materials of the Modern Sumerian-Babylonian-Anunnaki Tradition brought to life by the Mardukite Chamberlains (Ordo Nabu Maerdechai), edited by Joshua Free, the presiding Nabu of the organization since its public inception on the 2008 Summer Solstice.

3-BOOKS-IN-1

NECRONOMICON GRIMOIRE is a highly innovative and accessible anthology of the complete “Year-3” (2011) research and development of the Mardukite Research Organization including three volumes (“Magan Magic“, “Maqlu Magic” and “Beyond the Ishtar Gate“, simultaneously released as the “Necronomicon Spellbook” trilogy series) in a single incredible compilation! This newly revised ‘Anniversary Edition’ perfectly companions the latest editions of the Mardukite Chamberlains Year-1 (2009) anthology “Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible“ and Year-2 (2010) anthology “Gates of the Necronomicon“, both edited by Joshua Free for the Mardukite Truth Seeker Press.

3-BOOKS-IN-1

In NECRONOMICON SPELLBOOK I: MAGAN MAGIC – THE ENUMA ELIS (Liber-E) amazing cuneiform tablet records of magick and creation are drawn together to reconstruct the most antiquated, powerful and legendary “magician’s primer” ever known to the minds of men –formulated by the ancient Sumerians and Babylonians!

NECRONOMICON SPELLBOOK II: MAQLU MAGIC (Liber-M) reveals an authentic “Necronomicon Spellbook” of advanced Mesopotamian Magick drawn from the sands of Babylonia – the Maqlu Tablet series – forming a complete Anunnaki (‘alien sky god’) “grimoire” used by magicians and priests for thousands of years to combat in wizards’ duels, reverse the effects of evil spells and curses, banish disease and nightmares, and conjure the protection and blessings of the gods!

Finally, NECRONOMICON SPELLBOOK III: BEYOND THE ISHTAR GATE (Liber C) is concerned with the ‘other side’ of the tradition, parts that have been concealed and yet also what made the tradition famous – mainly, the connection to the “Other”, that which we have been programmed to perceive as ‘separate’ from this reality and prepares the seeker/student for the Year-4 cycle that follows.

The Mardukite Epic of Creation — the Enuma Elis — illustrates a unique perspective, spiritually speaking: as already fragmented beings, the Anunna (or Anunnaki) knew of the true nature of reality and used it to their advantage politically (religiously) when dealing with humans…

Instead of a practical cosmogenetic message, we are given a political account of MARDUK slaying the serpent or dragon (representative of the ‘overcoming of chaos’ in the universe, meaning: a universal or world order) in the tradition (literary styling) of pre-Babylonian (Sumerian) use of the kur in mythology. By performing this feat or conquest, MARDUK becomes self-proclaimed King of the Anunnaki, although the tablet renderings explain that the title was bestowed upon him as a reward for the dragon-slaying feat. In doing this, even if only symbolically and in consciousness, the Mardukite forces are given Divine Right to exercise the powers of the Anunnaki on Earth – thus beginning the Babylonian legacy to occult Sumerian religion in Mesopotamia. (excerpting Gates)

The Enuma Elis forms the cornerstone of Mardukite usurpation of the Sumerian Anunnaki hierarchy. The work also illustrates a distinction between the ancient era and older generations who existed prior to the formation of the priesthood (a race some call the Ancient Ones; led by the primordial dragon, TIAMAT) and the Elder Gods (Anunna) of prehistorical renown, who were acknowledged within the Babylonian pantheon under MARDUK [including Enlilites; NANNA, INANNA-ISHTAR, SHAMMASH (SAMAS) and NERGAL.]

In Eridu, MARDUK is actually not attributed among the Anunnaki gods – not listed among the pantheon – by Sumerian standards. In fact, MARDUK is initially the primary high-ranked leader of IGIGI (Watchers), setting a status quo in Eridu – and then in Babylon – concerning the intermarriage between Anunnaki with humans (as described on the ancient cuneiform tablets). For this ‘indiscretion’, by Enlilite‘World Order‘ he was denied his Divine Right, but his argument remained that it was never going to be given to him anyway and that MARDUK’S chosen consort, SARPANIT, mother of NABU, was actually of royal blood by ENKI (being a seventh generation descendent of Adapa, a hybrid born of direct genetics from ENKI).

The Enuma Elis is named after its opening lines in Babylo-Akkadian, translated to mean: “When in the heights…” This series is better known among scholars and seekers alike as the ‘Babylonian Epic of Creation‘ or ‘Seven Tablets of Creation‘, which are in fact too often misrepresented as “Sumerian.” As religio-political propaganda, the Enuma Elis is a significant ‘document’, which historians and biblical scholars also note to be the base origins of the Judeo-Christian Genesis, is similar to the “Donation of Constantine” (a famous religio-political ‘forgery’ used to gain power) responsible for the Catholic Church of the Vatican in attaining Divine Right on Earth and the worldly means (from the Romans) to execute it. (excerpting Gates)

Following a dramatically unsuccessful campaign earlier in Sumerian history c. 3650 B.C. – an archetype in human consciousness called the ‘Tower of Babel’ incident – the Enuma Elis program is officially installed c. 2150 B.C. by the Mardukite Nabu-Priests in Babylon (Borsippa).

Archaeologists first became away of this particular series in 1849 when cuneiform tablets were recovered from an expedition into the ‘Royal Library of Ashurbanipal‘ in ‘Nineveh’. Contents of the tablets were first published academically in 1876 and received significant attention by historians, mythographers and biblical scholars – not only because of their antiquity, but because of how significant the work turned out to be in deciphering the ‘methodology’ of Babylonian civilization and religion in addition to its high resonance with our contemporary and ‘classical’ “Epic of Creation” given in the Judeo-Christian Book of Genesis.

Although the text of the ‘Enuma Elis’, appears in the original Year-1 cycle of Mardukite work, the cycle is more closely analyzed in the Year-3 cycle discourse, NECRONOMICON SPELLBOOK I, wherein it explains how multiple versions of ‘Mesopotamian-originating’ tablets exist – but there is one key point that many esoteric practitioners and historians miss when appropriating what ‘purpose’ the tablets have within the ‘greater’ tradition – the ‘bigger’ world picture.

For example, all tablet-cycles that make reference to “MARDUK” are purely Babylonian or a direct influence thereof – meaning that they are born of the post-Sumerian Anunnaki tradition that surrounded another key element – the usurpation and transfer of “power” in Mesopotamia to Babylon, the control of the empire by the priest-magicians and dragon-kings there residing as well as authority in the religious and spiritual systems of the people and their relationship with the “Sky Gods” (Anunnaki) – all shown to be executed by “Divine Right” and in accordance with the “World Order” decreed by ANU, ENLIL and ENKI in prehistoric times… (excerpting Gates)

…for Mardukites, the Enuma Elis made this all possible for their own elevation of MARDUK and the development of Babylon as the earthly seat of godly power!
